Notes:
The changes in temperature and crystallinity of polymer during nonisothermal crystallization were theoretically analyzed assuming a cooling condition under which heat transfer occurs at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature between polymer and the environment. When a plateau appears in the temperature change during crystallization, crystallization temperature can be predicted by a simple method. This method gives nearly the same value as that obtained by successive calculations of temperature and crystallinity throughout the whole process. In addition, a graphic method is presented to predict crystallization temperature. By using the plateau temperature observed in melt-spinning experiments, the crystallization rate under molecular orientation is evaluated. Furthermore, a method applicable to estimating the ultimate crystallinity is proposed. A rough estimation of the increase in the rate of crystallization under molecular orientation was carried out for very high-speed spinning of poly(ethylene terephthalate).
